How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer and shut off water supply. Be prepared for water spillage when opening panels.
- Inspect while filling: Remove the lower front or rear panel and run a short fill cycle while observing with a flashlight. Identify the leak source.
- Check hoses and clamps: Tighten any loose clamps on the tub-to-pump hose, pump outlet hose, and internal fill hoses. Replace hoses that are cracked or bulging.
- Examine pump: Look for cracks in the plastic pump body or leaks around the shaft seal. Replace the drain pump assembly if leaking.
- Dispenser and vent: Check hoses from the dispenser to the tub and any vent hoses for leaks during fill and wash.
